Lovely stuff! In return, I decided to bake him a cake, with that coconut of course. I wanted a simple loaf cake with lots of flavor, and for a special zing I made a simple lime glaze. He, and everyone else, loved it. I thought it was pretty great, and I&#8217;ll definitely make it again. I might add some lime zest to the cake itself &#8211; as it was, I didn&#8217;t think about that until I was mixing the glaze and the cake was already done. Oh well, next time!<\/p>\n<p>This cake is pretty soft and crumbly, but I like it like this. If you want it sturdier, add another egg.<\/p>\n<p><b>Coconut Loaf Cake<\/b><br \/>200 g butter, softened<br \/>200 g sugar<br \/>1 tsp vanilla extract OR 2 tsp vanilla sugar<br \/>3 eggs<br \/>200 g flour<br \/>2 tsp baking powder<br \/>3 tbsp milk<br \/>100 g coconut (unsweetened)<\/p>\n<p>For the glaze:<br \/>1 lime<br \/>powdered sugar<br \/>toasted coconut<\/p>\n<p>Start by creaming butter and sugar until soft and fluffy. Add the vanilla, and eggs, one at a time. Mix well between each addition. Add flour, baking powder and milk, a little at a time, and mix. Finally stir in the coconut.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare the tin by buttering it well and then shaking coconut around it as you would breadcrumbs. This ensures the cake won&#8217;t stick.<\/p>\n<p>Pour the batter in your prepared pan, and bake at 175\u00b0C for about 35-40 minutes. Do check with a cake tester, it might need longer than that.<\/p>\n<p>Let the cake cool completely in the tin before turning it out.<\/p>\n<p>Toast the coconut for the topping &#8211; it takes a few minutes in a dry frying pan over medium heat.<\/p>\n<p>For the glaze, just stir together lime juice and powdered sugar until it&#8217;s as thick as you want. Mine was probably a little runny but still very tasty. Drizzle on top of the cake, top with the toasted coconut and you&#8217;re all done!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend often travels to Sri Lanka, and he recently brought me a huge bag of coconut.
